Mets reliever Josh Edgin had a night to forget Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Edgin, who entered the game in the eighth inning, gave up a two-run double to A.J. Ellis. He surrendered two runs and four hits in just one-third of an inning in a 7-2 defeat. Manager Terry Collins is concerned that Edgin's workload in 2012 may have taken something out of him this season.

With Shaun Marcum expected to be activated from the disabled list Saturday, Edgin could be the odd man out, according to ESPN.com.

"One of the things that I am just a little bit concerned about -- and I've seen it before, and we've mentioned it -- is a young pitcher like that, last year he got into a lot of games," Collins said. "He had a lot of appearances. He had a lot of games he warmed up and maybe didn't get in. All of those can lead to the next year just not having your arm respond right away. I've been there before where I've seen that. And I'm a little concerned that might be what we're facing here."
